Very sad news

I just saw it on channel 10 news. The news said they were on their way back from an SAU meeting.

RIP fella's

[Duncan]

At least there is something to bring us together at this crappy time....SAU NSW members please refer to the thread in the members area.

Alex, thanks for your courage facing the internet today, everyone here supports you and the families and friends remaining. Please pm when one of the exec with your contact details when you feel ready to talk about how we can help

Lets see one of the news sites publish this:

"Skylines Australia, apart from promoting OFF STREET drifting are also involved in driver training, to encourage safer more controlled driving on the street (an activity both the deceased member were repotedly active in) and several other forms of legitimate motorsport in which people with a passion get to enjoy doing what they love in a controlled environment. Further they are involved in raising many thousands of dollars each year for charities, both as a club and as individual members. While also actively discouraging members from being involved in any form of street racing, and penalising those who discuss such activities on the forums."- Please note I am not authorised to comment on behalf of SAU, but this is clearly a more accurate summary of this club.

For the Media to use this tragic event to AGAIN judge and discriminate is attrocious. Lives have been lost.

RIP, may where you go have a racetrack.

R.I.P so sad to hear, very upsetting, the boys were hills shire locals

A friend was driving thru to Seven hills me being passenger and got pulled over by hwy patrol on quakers hill parkway.

Copped a red label and defect notice had to get towed home, fair enough cop the punishment for illegal mods. Wasnt expecting to get done in the west, he took the gamble.

Anyway, officer went on to spray about the crash this morning and illegal racing. Its just so sad that theres this huge persona advocated by the media that were all into illegal drag racing, drifting on streets and so on.

Hope this hits home, that no matter how good your car is setup and how well you are as a driver, its not worth it. Too many variables on the street and don't fall into peer pressure. Track is where most of us guys push ourselfs and cars and im just upset that people still risk there lives, its not worth it.

Just found this video *edit by mods: video removed, it was innacurate reporting and does not help any of us to watch*
